AN EkXTaD DA5<s RACE.
| Reuben IL kIOyd's Explanation
OF as Change or Name.

A correspondent of the New
| York Herald has interviewed Reu-
ben Ii. Lloyd, who said that he had
all along wished tn make a public
statement, but his friends had ad-
vi>ed hi = silence. The account
proceeds as follows:
Lloyd pauscd moment and then
with suffu~ed eyes, spoke as fol-
lows: Perhaps some explanation
from me would be advisable. Ny
mother Is proud woman. Admiral
Dundas was her cousin and she
had many cousins in equally high
positions. Lloyd's Borough, in
Ireland, was named after one of her
people, and | can honestly say that,
truth and honor were dear as life
to her. We came to this country
and when the first trouble occurred
in Cincinnati she determined to re-
sumo her own family name-that of
Lloyd This was done by the ad-
vice of Cornelius Vanderbilt, and |
was then but a soft 81 D of lad and
| had been taught to obey her I'M
questionably. l never for one mo-
ment questioned her right or rea-
son. | have no doubt family troub-
les were the cause of it, but she
never consulted me or asked my
consent. We came to this State in
1854, Henry having already been
here three years. My mother OBJ
tanned place for me as a messen-
ger boy in Messrs Hager & Sharp's
Office. Hager is now the Collector
of this Port, while Sharp is dead.
Ever since that time l have lived
in this city, and by hard toll have
worked my way up in my profess
sion.
Why did your brother William
come here?" was asked.
In that
He WAS NOT HIS OWN MASTER,
Was the answer. After leaving
New York he went to Nicaragua,
as you know, He told Walker his
story aud by him was publicly ac-
knowledged as Rogers. Had
Walkers plans been carried out
William would have had "a recognized
position, but the plans failed in "a
flash, and William took passage by
the first ship available and that
landed IN San Francisco. He came
here in rags, and l scraped money
enough together to send him to the
mines. He has pr0spered measure
ably, but Is not wealthy. His farm
j. worth S75.000, and carries mort
gage of 1900"
How do this raking up of old
matters come about?" was the next
question.
As l understand, it all happened
IN this way" he replied "Darr
came here with a $4,000 claim
against William, winch he HAD pur
chased In Cincinnati, and from the
first BEGAN TO press him for settle
meht / heard that such was the
case, ana one day | asked William
what AL those covert threats meant
He dlsclaimed knowledge, anu
were you In his place, you would
have done as | did, for"ear from
pushing questions. William went,
however, tt Hart, whom he had
known of ola, and dispatched hun
on lis mission of violence, most
unfortunate mission of frigntfaG
consequences. Concerning my
brothers faults | do not care to
speak, nor, | believe. would any oue
expect me TO. As TO my career, my
life has been an opeu book which
all DlGuL IcdR. OC'lCNC S"o
truly say l never wronged man
out of dollar, nor did anyone a
wanton injury. Here In this city,
ever since have beef old enough
to be anything, | have lived:
and here [ expect to continue to
the close "
1t is fair to add that but one feel
ing is entertained by the public con-
corning Reuben Ii. Lloyd's connec-
ton with this unfortunate affair,
and that is one of honest sy apathy.
